What is that thing?
A quick question. I was removing the interior of the parts car (GSL-SE) and under the carpet below the passenger seat there is a small doo-dad (yes, the technical term). It is a small, flat, dime-sized, metal thing with two wires coming out of it screwed to the floor. I removed it and I have no idea what it is. Buzzer, sensor, top-secret tracking device? Any ideas?

Its the low level sensor for the blinker fluid resisvor. If some fluid leaks down there, you'll be turnning with no signals, so be careful! Go and check to be sure they still work! The hydrolic lines going to each of the blinkers are very small, can't even see them if you don't look carefully.

Darn it! I'd been looking for the flux-capacitor for a while now. I'd always pictured it a bit bigger. And I had no idea that the government was spying on me using my F.C. I must stop hatching my nefarious plots (aloud) while driving to work.
However the exhaust overheat sensor idea sounds likely... I hadn't considered that. Thanks!

Oh, I forget to mention if the hydrolic lines get low on blinker fluid to be sure to add fluid and bleed them out, or the blinker will not give a consistant blinking pattern. This is because the hydrolic pressure activates the relay actativing the blinker and if air is in the line, it will be spongy!
Use only geniune Mazda blinker fluid of course, they sell it like for brake fluid or power steering fluid.
This could confuse other drivers on the road if its not a consistant blinking. The bleeder valves are behind each lense so be careful not to get fluid all over everything. Hook a tube from the bleeder nipple to a jar to be safe. Its a .01mm socket is nessessary, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN when done!! By the way, ha ha ha ha.
